@OliverKamm @robfordmancs @kindacromulent I was just saying his claim of being censored was spurious as there are many 'reputable' right wing trade publishers. I'd count Simon and Schuster, Swift, Biteback, etc. They would fact check, but definitely wouldn't censor him. 'Censorship' all part of the grift of course

[Pascal Porcheron @Pascal_Pub]

@DrMatthewSweet @andytwelves Sadly, Matt knows his audience. He will use this justified critique of his research method to create a censorship furore, which will drive sales of his drek :(

[Pascal Porcheron @Pascal_Pub]

@OliverKamm @robfordmancs @kindacromulent Also there are loads of right wing publishers who would probably gladly publish him and wouldn't dream of censoring, so perhaps he just didn't want the scrutiny

Disgusting to see @guardian and @jonathanliew use @Gails_Bakery to dog-whistle about Jewish elitism and power. Calling a bread shop "symbolically aggressive" because of a shareholder’s heritage is textbook antisemitism.

They’ve traded journalism for tropes that should have stayed in the 1930s. 🍞⚖️ #Antisemitism #TheGuardian

@RabbiRomain thanks for this, Jonathan

[David Aaronovitch @DAaronovitch]

I never thought I'd see the day when this kind of claim would become respectable. Apologies to followers but you need to know it's happening

[Pascal Porcheron @Pascal_Pub]

@joshxhowie 'The bad people parasitically feeding off the LGB'--I'm afraid this is not the statement of someone who has read about the history of gay rights, or with any understanding of how sexual identities come into being. By your own admission, this isn't really your area

A rather scary read... and a repeat of what we saw in Gaza.
"As planning for a potential strike in Iran was underway, Maven, powered by Claude, suggested hundreds of targets, issued precise location coordinates, and prioritized those targets according to importance, said two of the people. The pairing of Maven and Claude has created a tool that is speeding the pace of the campaign, reducing Iran’s ability to counterstrike and turning weeks-long battle planning into real-time operations, said one of the people. The AI tools also evaluate a strike after it is initiated, the person said."

People are cancelling their OpenAI & ChatGPT accounts en masse. This is good. Keep the movement growing. QuitGPT.

Also, we must grasp why integrating ANY AI system into the military is a very dangerous thing to do.

Stop ALL AI companies who are merging with the military.

If you've ever heard someone claim that assisted dying is 'playing God', this clip (from LBC Radio) shows why they really do not understand how faith works. They can still be against assisted dying, but should not do so in God's name anymore.
